Using these ChiaoGoo Knit RED Circular Needles is a breeze. First, pick the right size and length for your project. Start by casting on your stitches onto the needle. As you knit, the smooth red nylon - coated cable will let the yarn slide easily, making your knitting process quicker. When you're done with your project, gently remove the stitches. To keep your needles in good shape, avoid bending them forcefully. You can clean them with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from sharp objects that could scratch the smooth surface. With proper care, these needles will serve you well for many knitting projects to come.
